Madness And Hysteria.

[b]One man defined madness and hysteria as:

" A state in which power of imagination and suggestibility have combined with that particular synergy of body and mind called psychoplasticity, which culminates in the more or less voluntary simulation of pathological syndromes, in the mythoplastic organization of functional disorders that are impossible to distinguish from those of simulators.[/b]

[b]My question to observers is this:

Is this not all the habitualization and customs of all the world “humanities” throughout world history?[/b]

Is this not the reason why men constantly enslave, oppress and repress other individuals for the sanctity of “ideals”?

well

“Is this not…”
…pushed to far considering the original context? And no I don’t think there can be a clear connection made between “Madness And Hysteria” and “the reason why men constantly enslave, oppress and repress other individuals for the sanctity of “ideals”” at all . I think we are rather moving in a district of social pressure and general values of our times here. Just my opinion though. :wink:

I cannot see the difference between the subjects of madness and hysteria in the comparison of global history in what we consider to be “human”.
